Tips for Better Results
Be specific about time ranges
Be specific about time ranges
Instead of “show activity”, try “show activity this week” or “activity in the last 30 days”.
Name tools explicitly
Name tools explicitly
Instead of “which chatbot is popular”, try “how much is ChatGPT used?” or “Claude vs ChatGPT usage”.
Ask one thing at a time
Ask one thing at a time
Break complex questions into simpler ones. Instead of “who uses ChatGPT most and what do they use it for”, ask them separately.
Use the suggestions

Limitations
Ask works best with:- Questions about aggregated data (counts, rankings, percentages)
- Time-based queries (this week, last month)
- Comparisons between tools, users, or devices
- Very specific queries about individual events
- Complex conditional logic
- Questions requiring data Oximy doesn’t capture
